I am distressed by the use of deliberately inflammatory language in the article “Teachers or policymakers?” in the July 16 issue. There are no pro-abortion politicians or any others. If the bishops are so concerned with pro-life concerns, where was their outrage with the federal death penalty and the 13 individuals who were executed at the end of the Trump administration? 

It would seem to me that the bishops are more concerned with politics than teaching.
